If you mean the tallest building in the world, it was the twin towers in Malaysia, but I think that honour now belongs to Taiwan

The Burj Dubai (Arabic: برج دب٠for "Dubai Tower") is a skyscraper currently under construction, since April 15, 2005, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, at 25°11′58.34″N, 55°16′20.66″E. The lead architect is Adrian Smith of the Chicago office of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. Its final height is officially being kept a secret due to competition; however, figures released by a contractor on the project have suggested a height of around 808 metres (2651 feet). Based on this height, the total number of habitable floors is expected to be around 195.
Burj Dubai will likely become the tallest building in the world. It will beat out the current title holder, Taipei 101 in Taiwan, as well as numerous other proposals including the Shanghai World Financial Center, Port Tower complex ( Karachi) and Chicago's Chicago Spire (formerly the Fordham Spire). In addition, it will assume the title of the world's tallest structure.

The Burj Dubai in UAE will possibly reach 3000ft tall, In the US though it will be in Chicago the fordam tower 2000ft tall, but there is speculation the freedom tower might go for the record planed for 1776ft tall but foundation can hold more. I guess we will have to wait.
